We’re also incredibly grateful and proud to have received backing and funding from a number of groups. We wouldn’t exist without their support.

 

Women in Journalism

Our founder, Jem Collins, was taken aback to be announced the winner of the 2018 Georgina Henry Award for Digital Innovation at the Press Awards.

Coming with £3,000 of funding, this allowed Jem to leave her full-time job and focus on Journo Resources, and we’re incredibly grateful for their continued support.

Our director and founder, Jem Collins, was awarded a 2019 Print Futures Award, complete with £1,300 worth of funding to allow us to buy our own MacBook.

Presented at the House of Lords in July, we’re incredibly grateful to The Printing Charity’s support to own our own equipment for the first time, allowing us to move towards working full-time.
